This video is well worth watching not only if you’re a mountain biker but also if you’re a budding filmmaker or vlogger in any scene trying to find your way in the world.

Danny: “I got into trials riding when I was about 11 years old. Grew up on the Isle Of Skye. There wasn’t really much else to do there apart from ride my bike. So I’d do that every day. Eventually my mountain bike turned into a trials bike as parts snapped off.”

And in one of the most interesting sections, Danny reveals how he spends his travelling time (and he travels A LOT) drawing storyboard ideas for future videos or simply one-off tricks to have a go at next time he has an opportunity.
